The Lords (demogroup)

The Lords was a Dutch ZX Spectrum group from Roosendaal known as one of the earliest dedicated demogroups. The Lords released several demos for the ZX Spectrum home computer between the years 1986 - 1990. Groups such as The Lords are regarded as early pioneers of what came to be known as the demoscene.

In some respects they mirrored The Judges, a "rivaling" Commodore 64 group also from Roosendaal, to the extent that concepts, artwork and even titles were identical between the two groups.

In later years, they released some of their demos for the SAM Coupé and two games; a freeware version of "Tetris" in 1990 as well as a "Arkanoid" clone named "Batz 'n Balls" in 1992.
